<h2>Setting preferences.</h2>
<p>If you are a new user, this is probably going to be the first
step. Go to Edit.Preferences. Any changed values can be reset to the
default by clicking the button below. The following window will show up. The
first tab in this window controls how you connect to the scopus
website. You can choose a 'No proxy' or a proxy setting based on your
service provider. If you do choose the proxy setting, make sure that
the proxy site you choose is the actual site (with a port number,
separted by a colon), not the location of the 'pac' file.</p>

<p>The next tab is 'Storage' (see image below). This is where your stored pdf files,
extracted text and database will be stored. Leave it at the default
value. If you do choose to change it, make sure you choose an
appropriate location with enough space. Also, the browse button may
not work in your system correctly. However, you could directly copy
and paste the new folder location from an explorer window. Keep the
path separators the same as shown below.</p>

<p>The last tab in preferences is for controlling pdf settings (see
image below). The 'save pdfs' button is checked by default. If you
feel that there is not enough space in your storage folder to save
pdfs, then you can uncheck this button. However, you won't be able to
double click and open a pdf or view images from the pdf file if you
make this choice. The second button for 'double clicking pdfs' is
artifactual and will be removed in future versions. It has no function
at this point.</p>
<p>In the lower portion for indexing options, you can choose either to
overwrite or mark as duplicates, the pdf files that you come across
during file indexing. Also, any found files will be tagged with the
path to their original location by default. You can change this to
either tagging with only the parent folder or a custom tag.</p>
